XLERPLATE® steel structural products consist of a range of medium and high-strength plate products with varying nominal yield strengths. Available in standard and custom sizes with guaranteed impact properties for applications where higher toughness is required, allowing a tailored solution for your project.
The benefits of XLERPLATE® steel structural grades are guaranteed minimum strength levels and excellent weldability. Medium-strength grades exhibit excellent formability while high-strength grades exhibit good formability. XLERPLATE® steel’s structural products adhere to strict compliance to all relevant Australian Standards and certification in accordance with ACRS and ATIC Scheme 10.
Floorplate, with a raised pattern on one surface, is available in this range. In addition, the XLERPLATE® steel range encompasses products designed for use on laser-profiling machines. XLERPLATE® steel’s Lasercut 250 and 350 steel grades are designed with a modified chemistry and manufacturing process to improve laser cutting.
Manufactured to meet relevant Australian Standards including AS/NZS 3678:2016.
The XLERPLATE® steel Size Schedule Tool is a simple, self-guided tool to check the viability of manufacture of XLERPLATE® steel plate by thickness, width, and length for your chosen grade and edge condition. Using the latest size schedule data, the tool confirms viability in real time. If your specific requirements aren’t available in the tool, the BlueScope Customer Service team is available to guide you.

Large infrastructure projects ranging from small pedestrian bridges to large highways. These projects require a range of high strength grades, with options for guaranteed impact toughness and/or through thickness ductility. Our custom range options allow longer length plate for bridge design efficiencies. REDCOR® steel, XLERPLATE® steel and welded beams and columns are typically used in the construction of a wide range of bridges from long span road bridges, rail bridges to pedestrian bridges.
